NO BY-LAWS--------NO ELECTIONS------NO OFFICERS------NO DUES

NO MEETINGS------(THE WORD “MEETINGS” IMPLIES FORMALITY---

                                      WE CALL THEM “GET TOGETHERS”).

NO FEMALES PERMITTED------(EXCEPT ON VERY SPECIAL OCCASIONS,

       BY INVITATION ONLY).  THIS HAS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE, WHEN WE

       HAD FEMALE REPORTERS FROM THE "RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH"

       AND THE LOUISA, VA “CENTRAL VIRGINIAN” AND THE "LAKE ANNA OBSERVER"

       NEWSPAPERS ATTEND, TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT OUR ESTEEMED GROUP.

THE TOWN OF LOUISA, IS LOCATED IN CENTRAL VIRGINIA, ABOUT ½ WAY BETWEEN RICHMOND AND CHARLOTTESVILLE.  THE LOUISA ROMEO GROUP WAS CO-FOUNDED IN JANUARY OF 2002 BY, JERRY ROBARGE AND CHARLIE CHAPLIN.  WE INITIALLY STARTED WITH 6 MEMBERS AND HAD A “GET TOGETHER” (GTG) AT ONE OF THE LOCAL RESTAURANTS FOR BREAKFAST, ON THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH.

AFTER ABOUT ONE YEAR THE RESTAURANT CLOSED.  WE THEN STARTED OUR GTG AT THE “BETTY QUEEN INTERGENERATIONAL CENTER” (BQIC) WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A “COMMUNITY CENTER” (IN OTHER AREAS), WHERE WE CONTINUE OUR GTG.  THERE ARE NO OTHER RESTAURANTS IN LOUISA WHERE THE FLOOR PLAN CAN HANDLE A GROUP OF OUR SIZE.

SINCE JANUARY 2002, WE HAVE GROWN FROM THE ORIGINAL 6 MEMBERS TO OVER 55 MEMBERS AND CONTINUE TO GROW.

THE APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF MEN THAT ATTEND OUR MONTHLY GTG IS 25-30.  (THIS IS A VERY FLUID/INFORMAL GROUP---SOMETIMES YOU CAN MAKE IT, SOMETIMES CAN’T).

AT THESE GTG, WE OCCASIONALLY COME UP WITH POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS TO SOME OF THE, /LOCAL/STATE/NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL/PROBLEMS.

WE ALSO EXAGGERATE THE TRUTH AS MUCH AS OTHERS WHO ARE THERE WILL LET US GET AWAY WITH.

IN MARCH OF 2005 WE DECIDED WE NEEDED AN “IDENTITY”.---THE ABOVE “LOGO” WAS DESIGNED---BASEBALL CAPS AND JACKET/SHIRT PATCHES WERE CREATED.---IF YOUR ROMEO GROUP WOULD LIKE TO COPY OUR LOGO AND MODIFY THE ”TOWN/CITY” NAME AND HAVE CAPS/PATCHES FOR YOUR GROUP MADE---FEEL FREE TO DO SO.---I HAVE ONE REQUEST
